So most of our medical schools have simulation centers. I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way.

Really talking about, Bob did a talk that I was not present at what meeting Alex? And you’re supposed to read the medical literature and basically I have sort of found that the medical literature are not the books that have helped me get better or smarter. And it was a wonderful talk on mentoring.
